Ok now with the question: Is it wise for the redskins to only carry 4 cornerbacks? It really bothers me that we have two starting cornerbacks, that are injury prone (they have held up and I like them both) but behind them we have Rogers who is a rookie and Jimoh (who did play well last week) but is by no means a starter in the NFL. With the propensity for NFL teams to have 4 and 5 WR sets, we could potentially have covering them, a rookie, a special teamer, a safety, and LB's. Does that worry anyone else? We will face a great team this week in KC that can put up a bunch of yards in the air, Harris and Springs are supposed to start but neither is 100%, should the skins have searched the waiver wires for an extra CB?

You make a point I was about to bring up earlier. Especially since GW likes to play alot DBs in his defensive schemes. The trouble is they are carrying two kickers right now which limits some roster spots. Once Hall is ready to go, we will bring another DB aboard. I would think they are going to play alot of cover 2 and 3 this weekend. We may end up looking a little soft on the run, but I dont think we are going to give up any big plays down the field. We still have Taylor who could like up with the 3rd or 4th receiver and bring Bowen in for over the top help. I think we will be ok.
